FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not waterproof and should be kept away from excessive water.
How do I choose the right size?
Birkenstock sizes are typically based on European standards. It is recommended to check your UK size against their specific size guide to ensure a correct fit for the arch support.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the Boston model is a popular choice for wearing with socks, which can also help during the break-in process.
Is the sole replaceable?
While the outsole can wear down, professional cobblers are often able to resole Birkenstock sandals if the cork remains intact.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The anatomical arch support is specifically designed to help distribute weight, which many users with flat feet find beneficial.
Should I apply a protective spray to the suede?
Using a quality suede protector spray before the first wear can help repel moisture and dirt, extending the life of the material.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too hard or uncomfortable
This is normal for new pairs; continue wearing them for short intervals until the cork warms and conforms to your foot.
Suede upper has developed water spots
Use a specialized suede eraser or professional cleaning kit designed for leather to gently lift stains.
The sandal feels loose over time
Adjust the metal buckle to a tighter hole setting to compensate for the natural stretching of the suede material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Boston sandals last for years, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of suede, avoid wearing these in heavy rain or deep puddles to prevent staining and water damage. If the suede becomes dirty, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose debris. For the footbed, you can lightly dampen a cloth with mild soap and water to wipe away sweat or dirt, allowing them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because the fit is adjustable via the buckle, ensure the strap is tight enough to prevent the heel from lifting significantly, which protects the integrity of the cork base.
